Subject: [patch 4/8] mm, memcg: add tunable for oom reserves

Userspace needs a way to define the amount of memory reserves that
processes handling oom conditions may utilize.  This patch adds a per-
memcg oom reserve field and file, memory.oom_reserve_in_bytes, to
manipulate its value.

If currently utilized memory reserves are attempted to be reduced by
writing a smaller value to memory.oom_reserve_in_bytes, it will fail with
-EBUSY until some memory is uncharged.
